These guns are also known as the "New Departure" model, as the hammerless configuration was a totally new type of action for the company.

A friend of mine just bought a CHERRY .32 New Departure 3rd Model, nickled. It is SUCH a trip to shoot!

What's the serial number, and I should be able to nail the year of production down fairly well.

As for ammo, the proper ammo, .38 S&W, is still loaded. You might have to hunt around to find it, but it's out there.
